Leh Ladakh Budget Tours

Ladakh

The landscapeof ladakh look like that of neighboring Tibet (This area is sometimes called “ Little Tibet”), as does the look of the people, their religion – spiritually Buddhist – and the wonderful monasteries perched bossily on granite crags and steep hillsides.

High and mighty though leh Ladakh is, it is with no trouble approached either by flying directly to the capital Leh from Delhi (allow 3-4 days for acclimatization) or by road from Manali in Himachal Pradesh (a 02 days trip).

Leh stands at 3,521m/ 11,552 ft. and the nearby flat areas are on a par. It is warm in the sun but the temperature drops at night, even in midsummer.

Ladakh is the land of insuperable mountains and enthralling monasteries. It lies on the tri- junction of the historic ‘Silk Route’ from Sinkiang to West Asia and to the plains of India. There are a number of appealing places and monasteries to visit in and around Leh. Some of the important places are: Leh Palace, the monasteries of Shey, Hemis, Alchi, Thikse and Lamayuru. Markha Valley trek over Gongmaru La and Gandha La is the most adventurous. Another trekking in Ladakh trail leads southwards from Alchi and after crossing Stapski La, turns around and reaches Nimu. Yet another trail towards north of Leh climbs over Khardung La and reaches the Nubra Valley.

For the reason of trekking, the region can be alienated into three – The area around Kargil, the Indus Valley and Zanskar.

Dal Lake

Dal Lake - found in Srinagar, Dal Lake is exceedingly peaceful and a cool breeze usually blows off it. It is so tranquil you will even be able to hear the birds singing from a distance away as you cruise along on a houseboat or Shiakara. Dal Lake also connects to other lakes that lead into Kashmir Valley. There are over 500 houseboats from the Victorian era that you can choose to stay on. During the British occupation of India, these houseboats served as vacation homes for British officials.
